Secrets

I was driving into work today and the radio show I listen to was talking about this new blog, "postsecret.blogspot.com" It is a bunch of secrets that some guy collected and has posted. They are all anonomous. Some people have shared simple secrets, like they don't wash their hands after peeing. Others shared dark secrets like cutting their neighbors cocaine and almost killing the neighbor, or having an affair, or feeling guilty about a friend's suicide.

So, naturally, I looked up the blog when I got to work. It is interesting. And frightening. What a work of art, other people's anonomous secrets. How many people share the same secret? The little white cards could have been written by anyone. But frightening, because we enjoy other people's secrets so much. The radio show had listeners call in, anonomously, and share secrets. One guy shared that he has been having an affair with a prostitute for 6 months. He pays about $400 a week for her. I want to judge him, but I know I shouldn't.

This blog also makes me wonder what secrets do I have that I have told noone? I know there are some, but I couldn't come up with one that I would write on the card and mail in. Not a one.
